Ex Viva Hot Babes Rachel Villanueva on how her dream businesses came true

July 10 ------ Former Viva Hot Babes member Rachel Villanueva’s passion for eyelashes and luxury cars have become her inspiration to get into businesses she loves.

She believes that just because there is a pandemic, we should already forget about our physical appearances. “We have to take care of ourselves and pamper ourselves,” she said at the grand opening of her business, Estetika Wellness and Beauty Clinic, as well as AutoFlare, an automotive dealership of luxury cars. Villanueva recalled how she toiled long and hard to put up her businesses, like when she felt frustrated about her small eyes when she was younger. “Super fan ako ng eyelash extension. I love hairs. ‘Yun ‘yung idea. I thought, bakit hindi ko na lang siya gawing business? It’s my passion din,” she said on why she established a beauty clinic. “For Autoflare, we offer consignment. For those clients na gusto nang magpalit ng cars, puwede ninyong i-consign sa amin ‘yung mga cars ninyo, free of charge,” she said about her car business.

Villanueva is a third generation member of Viva Hot Babes. She was launched in 2005 and left showbiz a year after to work at Mercedes Benz Alabang. “Meron silang tinatawag na aging units. ‘Yun ‘yung mga units na, for example 2022 ngayon, ‘yung mga hindi naibenta last year, tumanda na siya ng isang taon. Once tumanda na ng isang taon, that’s what you call aging units already,” she explained. “They’re all brand new, never been used. I was able to sell 30 units in two months’ time,” she recalled. This eventually led her to set up her own businesses. “Binigyan ako ng opportunity to sell those units. And doon ko nakuha ‘yung funds to put up a business,” she shared.
